ComradeZalutsky:

Iam sending on this letter to you. Pass it on where it
belongs, if it has nothing to do with you.

Thecharges against such an old Party member and
revolutionary, known to every Latvian, and then to Trotsky
and many others during the war, are clearly incredible.
I have known Danishevskythroughoutthe Party’shistory,
years and yearsbefore the revolution, and I request that
everything, should be checked carefully, rigorously
and
comprehensively.[1]

Yours,Lenin

[1]Onthe strength of unverified accusations, K. Kh. Danishevsky
was expelled from the R.C.P.(B.), at the end of 1921, by the
Khamovniki District Commission (Moscow) for Purging the Party.

TheCentral Commission for Checking up on the Membership
of the R.C.P.(B.) rejected the groundless accusations and
reinstated Danishevsky in the Party.
